The pathogenic strains of Candida albicans (BX and BH) and Candida
lipolytica (NCIM 3589) were used to determine the antifungal
activity of the silver nanoparticles. The stock fungal cultures were
maintained on MGYP slants containing malt extract, 3.0; peptone,
10.0; dextrose, 10.0 g per liter of distilled water. The bacterial test
cultures included Citrobacter kosari(MTCC1657), Enterobacter aerogenes
(MTCC 111), Escherichia coli (MTCC 728), Klebsiella sp., Proteus
valgaris (MTCC 426) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC 728). The
bacterial cultures were maintained on Nutrient Agar slants that
contained peptone, 5.0; meat extract, 1.0; yeast extract 2.0; sodiu
